Mom Morph

Mom shrieks as I tap like Ginger Rogers on the kitchen floor.
The raggedy mop with rigid brows swishes me out the door.
With squinty eyes, the traffic cop regent-points to the yard.
Her majesty, with dish soap hands, wallops my cap, soft not hard.

I absolutely love the story telling of this poem. I could almost feel the mop head chasing after me. Congrats on your second place finish in my contest.
